Lunar New Year Celebration: Year of the Dog

Roll
in the Year of the Dog with talented dancers, musicians and storytellers at the
Asian Art Museum’s annual Lunar New Year Celebration. This year’s celebration
features Chinese acrobatics and lion dance drumming with local favorite Red
Panda Acrobats. After the workshops and performances, enjoy author Oliver
Chin’s story about the zodiac calendar and Year of the Dog characteristics — who
knows, you may discover something new about yourself! To round out the day’s
activities, have your name written in Chinese calligraphy and make art projects
from countries across Asia that celebrate the Lunar New Year, activities developed
and led by the museum’s Art Speak teen interns. Full Schedule of Activities:

Instruments for the Drumming Performance generously donated by Leung's White Crane of San Francisco's Chinatown.
